Ninnekah Elementary

Dereth Harrison - Elementary Principal

Meet The Principal

As a proud graduate of Ninnekah, I completed my primary and secondary education in the district, from Kindergarten to 12th grade.  My husband, BJ, shares the same pride as a fellow alumnus. During my time as a Lady Owl, I played basketball and was a member of the Drill Team. I have a profound affection for the district and its community. 

BJ and I have been married for 20 years and are blessed with four children and six grandchildren- all boys. We enjoy watching their sporting events, spending time outdoors, and exploring new restaurants together. 

As an educator, I have dedicated 24 years to the field, earning a bachelor's degree from USAO and a master's from SWOSU. My teaching career spanned eighteen years, during which I taught 4th and 5th grades. Now, I am excited to begin my eighth year as an administrator, returning for the second year to the district where my educational journey started. OWL PRIDE!
